Today @vanhollen.senate.gov was denied entry to the same prison.

This is one of the best rebukes of Elon Musk, Donald Trump and JD Vance. youtube.com/shorts/PdHTl...

Musk’s DOGE involved in what appears to be a foreign espionage operation and data theft. They also have death threatened US federal whistleblowers and disabled security systems, deliberately allowing Russian IPs to access sensitive US federal government systems. www.npr.org/2025/04/15/n...

A gentle reminder that you can do something to make the world suck less for yourself and the people you care about:

AOC: I saw on Fox, Jeanine Pirro says that they found so many babies and two year olds and four year olds receiving social security. I got a notice for you Jeanine Pirro: those babies receive social security because their parents died. That’s not a waste. That’s humanity. That’s America.

US protest for the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia in Maryland who was kidnapped by Trump. #3E #EndImpunity

Many products sold in the U.S. are made in El Salvador. In response to the El Salvador president’s statements today, we’re calling for an immediate boycott of all Salvadoran-made goods. Please help by listing any products or brands made in El Salvador in the comments below.

CECOT isn't a prison, it's a hell-scape where no one leaves alive. It's a tool of state terrorism, not a place to detain actual criminals. Evidence shows it is being run as a mass torture chamber by Bukele and funded by US taxpayers care of Trump.

This is from the Oprah show in 1996 featuring Jane Elliott.

AOC in Bakersfield, California: "By first going after activists such as these so that they can jail them for their speech, and then they will jail the rest of us for speaking up for immigrants, for speaking up for women's rights, for speaking up against this administration in any way shape or form"

During #BlackMaternalHealthWeek, I'm honoring the life of one mother who passed away after giving birth. Tenisha Evans’ death was tragic & preventable. Sadly, stories like hers are all too common. I'll keep working to ensure that every mother gets the health care she deserves.

Mandate 🤔

HAPPENING NOW: Protesters have gathered outside the Maryland courthouse where Judge Xinis is holding a hearing regarding Kilmar Abrego Garcia

Illinois is and forever will be a beacon of progress and equality for the LGBTQ+ community across the nation. We know that people are hurting right now and looking for answers. That's why I spent the afternoon hearing from folks on what we can do to support them right now.

😭

BREAKING: We're suing the Trump administration for banning books and curricula about race and gender at schools on military bases around the world. This is a violation of students’ First Amendment rights.

ok but i'll say it

I don’t think a better headline could have been written about what happened yesterday. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

12 Dem Senators and 48 Dem House members voted for the Laken Riley Act—allowing US Govt to deport immigrants on the mere accusation of a crime. As you see those 60 Dems complain about Mahmoud Khalil, Rumeysa Ozturk, or Kilmar Abrego Garcia, among many more—please know they enabled this fascism.

The comeuppance we’ve been waiting for. Let the transparency flow…

these doge guys are all criminals. it’s really that simple, this is what hackers do when they get access to your system before they start stealing your data www.npr.org/2025/04/15/n...

Oh dear you’re going to want to read this. Looks like DOGErs were caught exfiltrating NLRB data, likely on unions, for private (seemingly Elony) use. This is must read. What we’ve all suspected. But now details. www.npr.org/2025/04/15/n...

Dr. Mona Hanna-Attisha is a public health researcher who exposed the Flint Water Crisis in Michigan after noticing many of her patients were demonstrating elevated levels of lead. This Arab American History Month, we celebrate her vital work protecting health and safety in Michigan.

pleading with y'all to realize that Joe Hattab touring Bukele prisons is the same thing as "Assad-approved" Syria tours.

“In this arena there are hundreds of Alexandrias” Bernie calls on folks to oppose establishment candidates and run for office like @aoc.bsky.social did

Salt Lake City, Utah, showed up for Bernie and AOC.

BREAKING: Days after a Louisiana judge ruled that the deportation of Mahmoud Khalil can proceed, thousands are holding an emergency Passover Seder at the ICE headquarters in New York City, saying: If you come for one, you face us all.

I am going on trial Monday for complaining about a cop who kidnapped me. A guard punched my leg until the guard was exhausted the same night. I'm on trial for ringing the bell at city hall. The police broke my ribs for ringing the bell. The fire dept responded to busted ribs. Nathan Vasquez evil.

Letter from Dem Senator Chris Van Hollen (MD) requesting a meeting with Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele To discuss MD father Kilmar Abrego Garcia's return "If Kilmar is not home by midweek – I plan to travel to El Salvador this week to check on his condition and discuss his release."

Are you struggling with what to do next? Does a General Strike seem out of reach? We get it. We've protested, but we need the next step. Here's how we get there. We're building infrastructure for mutual aid, a huge component of our ability to stay on strike.

Bukele is a thug. He doesn't have to smuggle shit into the USA. Release the guy, and the USA will fly him back.

Now that President Bukele of El Salvador has publicly announced his refusal to return Abrego Garcia to the United States, followed by Trump’s announcement, signaling to send “homegrowns” (convicts in the United States) to El Salvador’s mega prison, can we finally call this a constitutional crisis?

We can acknowledge Bernie’s faults without rejecting the good he’s doing. This country is so far to the right that dragging the country leftward is objectively a good thing.

If Democrats would've done something when we were kidnapped and tortured by Feds in 2020 there wouldn't be kidnappings now. Why did they ignore our kidnappings? Why? And why don't journalists inform the public?

Important SCOTUS Reminder: Bush and his DOJ argued that habeas corpus did not apply to Guantanamo because it was outside US territory. The SC later ruled in Boumediene v. Bush that detainees at Guantanamo have a right to habeas corpus, even though the base is not US sovereign territory.

YIKES: The College Football Playoff National Championship trophy completely falls apart as JD Vance picks it up. A metaphor for this disastrous administration. (via Philip Wegmann)

New records reveal that Marjorie Taylor Greene bought thousands of dollars in stock right before Trump’s tariff pause announcement caused markets to surge.

What kills me about Target is that they are willing to die on that hill and that type of deep hate makes a future reversal pointless. This broken trust cannot be repaired.

occam's razor is that the people trying to make him respectable just agree with him
